ptsd Can two claims exist for mental health at same time

[KDM]

I filled for reconsideration of PTSD claim and I also filed for secondary condtion depression secondary to service connected Migranes was told by DAV rep that I cant do that both claims cant be filed at the same time.

I also filed for an upgrade on Headaches/Migranes im at zero percent but I have a DBQ from a VA doctor that states I am prostrate for more then three times a month and the medication I take and that I have a migrane with Aura any thoughts

You can try to claim it but they are going to put it all together under 1 MH rating anyway. You can't have 2 specific MH ratings.

yes you can file two claims at once but they don't like it. read this information about FDC Claims.
